Difficulties and Changes

Since we began this whole process back at the beginning of the school year we have come a long way, and we have altered many of our original idea as they were not practical or they were not realistic. For example when we initially began filming we started with the interview between the Prime Minister (played by Reece Garside) and the interviewer (played by Millie Warren), the interview then intercuts to the Prime Minister with blood and bruises all over and then cuts back to him being normal again. We then realised with some of the feedback that we got back helped us to realise that it is not clear that the protagonist is imagining it, so we decided to not use this as it was not realistic enough. However we have come a long way since then and now our opening sequence is starting to look very good, and all we are doing now is just adding the titles and making sure that it is perfect and just how we want it to be.

When we all looked back at our opening sequence it has become apparent that we could add a few more shots to help make our title sequence more thrilling and will give it more suspense.

The shots that we are going to include:

  1. A shot of the protagonist answering his phone and saying to them "I've got it, alright I will meet you outside the Houses of Parliament at nine" - the fact that he does not specify what "it" is creates the feeling of suspense as the audience is not sure what he means.
  2. A shot of the Protagonists phone ringing with the caller id 'unknown'- connotes danger. 
  3. A over the shoulder shot of the protagonist on the internet looking up 'how to make a c4 bomb - this leads the audience to imagine what is going to happen.
  4. A close up picture of he Prime Minister.
  5. And finally a close up of the protagonist fixing his tie - this connotes anger/ seriousness.
